VIDEO: Shark Jumps Into Boat in Florida


Whoa! A fishing boat got an unexpected visitor yesterday when a 5 foot long bull shark kjumped onto their boat.

The shark sailed through the air over the boat, but apparently crashed into one of the crew members and then found itself stuck on the boat.. it spent a lot of time angrily thrashing around, according the boat crew, so much that they couldn't grab it to throw it back in the water. But after a while they were able to grab hold of it and return it to the sea. Nice to hear a man vs. shark story that ended in such a kind and friendly way! See the video below:

After a day of spear fishing and lobster diving, a group of boaters were shocked when a shark jumped into their boat. Michael Powers and his friends were going after lobster and other fish off the coast of Florida Saturday when the shark jumped right into their boat.

In reguards to the moron named Jermey, Bull sharks are known to thrive in fresh water, so hopefully since you seem to be a uneducated man, maybe when swimming in a nearby river, you'll have the opportunity to become a meal

The Mother-n-Law jokes were real corny. How could anybody be laughing their A off from that comment.True i would rather spend a day fishing as opposed to spending the day with her. and to the dummies that returned the shark back to the water. Y didn't u take it to a taxidermy or somewhere to get it preserved.That away u would have a believable fish story to tell everyone that came to your place. The fish probably died anyway from the way that the picture look'd.

these idiots wanted to be on tv with that bs story. five and a half foot, 150, 125 lbs.
look at the guys foot in the pic. the shark is as wide as his foot. i bet it weighs less than 40 with a sack lunch. no other pics. take a 5'6, 150 pound person and lay down next to that shark. no way

Posted by: dl at August 15, 2009 8:28 AM

It good to know that they had returned the Shark back to ocean...I wonder what was the shark thinking of when it flew into the boat...!Maybe he's telling something....Stop fishing...!

I, personally, like white people. They're yummy! (Taste like chicken, believe it or not). I guess next time I try to immigrate to the States I'll just have to come in through Mexico...that seems to work well....

Posted by: Flying Shark at August 15, 2009 10:43 AM

The shark spent roughly a half an hour out of the water, was injured and then they put back in the water. Doesn't sound like a happy ending for the shark. How many humans could spend 30 minutes under water without air. Amazing story though!

Posted by: Karen at August 15, 2009 11:08 AM

Did anyone else notice the announcer saying "purpose" instead of "Porpoise".

Posted by: Just me at August 15, 2009 11:14 AM

Yes, Just me, I noticed the reporter said
'purpose'; must be a regional accent. Poor shark definitely looks worse for the wear but may recover; bull sharks fight over territory and wound each other.

To the mothers-in-law of the assorted morons: don't worry, your daughters will outgrow their outlaw psuedo-bad boy slobs and move on to someone who actually broke the magic 1000 barrier on their SATs.

Posted by: Cheryl Elliot at August 15, 2009 11:59 AM

Damn black and yellow people! Give me a freaking break you freaking asshole. Still want special treatment too, I bet and meantime we have a black president, BET (but no WET - white entertaiment television), black miss america, but no white miss america - anyone can join...WTF? Do you want anything else to try to better yourself? You'll never get there...being the underdog is something that 99% of you enjoy. Talk to Bill Cosby, he knows. Poor shark.

Posted by: Kerry at August 15, 2009 12:29 PM

This kind of concerns me. If this would have been my kayak or my inflatable boat, I could have been in a lot of trouble. These people had a 21ft boat and it still was a problem!

Posted by: cpt at August 15, 2009 12:34 PM

Started reading some of the comments until this turn into a race issue.

Damn all of you f_ _ _ ing racist assholes!!...
whatever your color...race...or nationality may be.

Posted by: Mac at August 15, 2009 12:44 PM

Are ya'll sure thats not a BLACK Tip shark....lol

Posted by: Anonymous at August 15, 2009 12:44 PM

One: this is not a bullshark; they're called bullsharks, because they're sturdy and have a big head, built more like a great white. The shark in the boat is much too sleek and streamlined to be a bullshark.
Two: this shark is not 5 feet long, just look at the foot of the guy visible in one of the pictures.
Three: that shark looks dead to me.
Four: how you people managed to turn this forgettable news bit into a racial issue and write such hateful stuff, is totally beyond me...

Posted by: gabriela at August 15, 2009 1:23 PM

Did anyone ever think that the guy or girl who made that comment might be white just to stir trouble. Or Arab, Asian, etc. Who said he/she was black. Think?

Second: Negative attention is attention. Next time let's not response because they cant feed off the negative energy. Whatever you DONT feed dies.

The guy said 125lb Shark? Did anyone look at the last picture near his foot? 5 ft. long? That shark look like 20 lbs but not 125lbs? NO FREAKING WAY IS THAT skinny little shark 125lbs! I've got bigger fish than that! Exaggeration for the camera IMO.

Wow! The story was dull the comments were everywhere. Glad I stopped to view it, NO! I found some golf balls while taking a walking on the golf course yesterday! That should be news worthy! What color do I need to be to be on a golf course anyways? I'm I ethinic for walking? Should I left the balls for the grounds keeper? Is some golfer missing his balls? The balls are white with lots of dimples, should I look for an old white golfer and see if he lost his balls? You guys need to stick to reading posts and let the critics do the comentary! I think most of you have lost something too! By the way, "Skin color is just pigment, stupidity runs clear through! I'm a Mother-in-law I should know:)

Wow Debbie wish you were my mother in law, how did we get to this? can someone remind me. I think it all started kind of fishy, but of course me being a Mexican I did't like golf or something like that but we all finally decided to be one happy race of Americans, right- I think.

Posted by: Effie at August 15, 2009 4:28 PM

First of all...any Shark jumping into a boat would make anyone want to jump ship! As for
his foot you can clearly see that it is actually perched on the top edge of his boat, it is several feet higher than the shark...and as any artist.. or photographer would know ..that would show the foot to be closer up and thus the foot would give the illusion of appearing much larger,

It would be like holding your thumb in front of a camera while taking a picture of a tree. The thumb would look huge and the tree small.
As for the mother in law jokes... Sad. Some of us are wonderful people and some of us make lousy mother in laws. My one Grandmother was a great lady and very kind and my other Grandmother was a heavy drinker, mean and jealous of my Mom. But I would not want to make nasty jokes about the mean Grandmother. My Mom didn't. They just moved 200 miles away from her to give themselves some breathing space. But the Shark I would run from! LOL

Posted by: Kaydee at August 15, 2009 4:31 PM

Shark was 5 feet. The foot was much closer to the camera as owner of the foot was standing 2 feet or more up on the side of the boat. Everyone on board scurried for higher ground to get away from the shark. As far as race, I am a part of the "human" race, the most important race of all! Calm down everyone...

The food, the food it came to you
From deep in the ocean blue
It jumped right on your tiny vessel
Because the shark wanted to wrestle
But stupid fisherman threw him back
I guess with lobsters he had no lack
If some tasty meat had come at me
From the bounty of the sea
I'd surely serve him on a platter
Or deep fry him in some batter.

Thanks Sass. Eat that sucker!
Why would fishermen toss back the most interesting catch of a lifetime? They dealt with that thing for a half hour but no one shot cell video? Somethin mighty fishy up at the lake.
'Purpose' mis-statement is no dialect I've ever heard in Florida.
Those who posted negative racist views need to examine the root of their bitterness and move on with renewed lives. Get a grip. It's a fish story!

Look how little the console is on the boat in the first frame of the video. Then look at the pic with the foot. You can get a feel for how small the console is by looking at the people in the first frame. Unless the people are 5 feet wide, there is no way that shark was 5 feet. That shark looks about 2 1/2 to 3 feet at most. That is including the tail fin!!!

Posted by: Mom2two at August 15, 2009 9:06 PM

Mr Fisherman in the blue lenses.....I agree with the other people.....there's No Way that fish weighed that much!! Yes it was scary having it jump into the boat but let's get real!! All you prejudiced and ignorant people out there need to get a life!!!!! Try worrying about how to make this country Better instead of being an asshole like some of the others on this site!!!! Can anyone NOT be so judgemental anymore???!!! It Really sucks!!!

Posted by: Deb T. at August 15, 2009 10:18 PM

I don't think the shark is prejudice he likes all color meat and he thinks it taste like chicken too.Probable related to the guy who thinks white people taste like chicken .Who cares the shark is happy!! Why do people who think they are minority think all white people are racist,what does that make you? ALL people such be proud of their heritage and be glad to be white,black,yellow or
red.Look within yourself and find out why you are ashamed of yourselves it's not because white people label you.you did it to yourself and used it to a unfair advantage for jobs,welfare,and all the crap you haven't earned so grow up and shut up and stop acting like your ashamed of who and what you are.We are all mixed with different backgrounds and Jesus was a jew,we all can be hated for one all all of are backgrounds.The difference is only you can make yourself be allowed to feel that way.All immigrants where hated when they came into this country and it had nothing to do with skin color,just a bird kind.Get over and be proud you are all beautiful and perfect by God and created for his approval.I love all of you as Gods people.

Let's all get happy and have a chicken party.I'll grill save the shark his a hero! Talk about a little angler fishing,looks like he let others see things from another angle.Third eye blind .Means not seeing what you see with your own two eyes but the one you don't have....try using your brain ,too!Most people only flap their jaws,THE shark Mr.JAWS get's the last reality bite too.Caulk one up for the great white heritage.
